Carefully Follow All Instructions for a Successful Procedure

IF YOU ARE TO BE SEDATED, a responsible driver must remain in the facility throughout your appointment (~ 2 hours total). NO EXCEPTIONS.

Utah State regulations require patients to have a responsible adult present and able to drive them home after a sedated medical procedure. A taxi, Uber or any other paid driver cannot act as such. Patients arriving without a driver have the choice of rescheduling the procedure for a time when a driver can be present or having their procedure without sedation.

Purchase The Following Products:

  • Suprep Bowel Prep Kit or substitution available at your pharmacy (follow mixing instructions provided with product).

The Day Before Your Exam:

  • STOP all solid foods. NO SOLID FOOD until after your exam.
  • Beginning with a clear liquid breakfast, continue to drink at least 8 glasses (64 oz) of CLEAR liquids throughout the day and evening. Clear liquids include: Water, sports drinks, black coffee, tea, any soda (light or dark), broth, Jell-O, popsicles, and juice without pulp. NOTHING RED OR PURPLE.
  • At 5:30 PM Pour ONE bottle of the Suprep mixture into the mixing container provided in the kit. Add cool drinking water to the 16 ounce line and mix. Drink ALL the liquid in the container. You MUST drink TWO more 16 ounce containers of water over the next 1 hour. If using generic prep, drink half the container over 1‐2 hours.
  • Continue drinking additional clear liquids throughout the evening.
  • A soothing ointment (Desitin, Vaseline) may be applied to the anal area to prevent discomfort and skin breakdown.

The Day Of Your Exam:

  • Four (4) hours before your arrival time, pour the second bottle of the Suprep mixture into the mixing container and repeat instructions listed above. If using generic prep, drink last half of the container over 1‐2 hours.
  • NOTHING BY MOUTH FOR 2 HOURS BEFORE YOU ARRIVE! (This includes water, gum and mints. NOTHING by mouth.)
  • Bowel movements should look like yellow/clear water by 2 hours prior to your procedure. If you are not passing clear stool by that time, please call our nurses at 801-619-1115. CALL US IF STOOLS ARE STILL BROWN!
